Crazycanuck, so how much Cap space will we have to sign an OT, LB, CB, WR?

He says he is DEFINITELY going to test the FA market, and I like this:

According to Pro Football Focus, quarterbacks have a 54.7 passer rating while throwing at Verner. Only Richard Sherman has a better mark.

Interesting. I had thought about Talib, but since I haven't really heard Verner's name, I assume he's WAY less of a head case.

My thoughts exactly, also he is younger.

Sam Shields has similar number to Verner, and wants to get paid after the GB snubbed him last year with a 1 yr RFA contract.

There are certainly a few options out there at corner, and we have some room to play with, and they aren't ancient like Deion was, and I really hate how we haven't had a shutdown corner in years, and. . .

If we can somehow get: Verner, Byrd, and Alex Mack, I might just shit on myself.

I really don't mind Paul returning kicks. He's like Rock Cartwright, never going to break one, but runs north-south.

Damn, really bringing up some old school names today!

That sounds alright depending on who is left on the board. 6 picks back can mean a lot in the second round, or it could mean very little.

Absolutely. If we can fill a need, do it. If we can fill a need with the same quality player and pick up more picks, then do that instead.

I think with a full salary cap I don't mind seeing the team taking the best player available as long as it is reasonable.

I don't want to jump the gun here but I think we might actually get the 33rd overall pick, if memory is correct I remember hearing about later rounds the order being switched up at the top of the round. Maybe it's not a big deal, or maybe it's the difference between a bust and a HOFer. I'm hesitant to say it's true until I see the official 7 round order come out though.

Edit: We might have a chance, according to this nfl.com link the Jaguars (who picked 2nd overall last year) had the first pick in the second round.

That's only for tiebreakers. Unfortunately we are alone in 31st place.

1st round - Healthy RGIII for 2014
2nd round - best OL available
3rd round - best OL available
4th round - best OL available
5th round - best OL available
6th round - best OL available
7th round - best OL available

This is only a slight over exaggeration! Our O-Line is atrocious and it's unwatchable at times.

This is only a slight over exaggeration! Our O-Line is atrocious and it's unwatchable to watch sometimes.

And unplayable to play!
